That makes a big difference in the placement of the tattoo. I’d say you’re fine. No gay guy would be seen with a tramp stamp 🙂

It took 22 hours in total, and we did it in 10 weeks. I’m quite happy with the results. I don’t have a pic right now of the inside of the arm, but I’ll get it up here soon.

I’m 13.5 hours in at this point. There’s a lot you haven’t seen yet (session 3), but I sure am digging how the whole thing is coming together. I hope you do to. Sorry for the low-grade pic, from my Android….when it’s all done, I’ll get the good camera fired up.

I agree with you. I researched for a year to find the right tattooer to work with for my sleeve. I have a co-worker who is a basement tattooer, and he desparately wanted to sleeve me out. No thanks.

In the morning, the plasma stuck to a few spots on the t-shirt. Rather than pull the T-shirt off the scabs, I jumped in the shower with the shirt on so the water would loosen it. Someone gave me that hint, and it was a real help. It’s better than getting stuck to a sheet and ripping the scab.

Now I’m 7.5 hours in. What is the deal with that bruising? Is that normal? I guess I should expect that, I bruise if a pine cone falls of a tree and hits me. Anyway, we’re doing shading inside the totem pole next.

Can this be taken care of in shading/coloring? Other than that, my multiple inspections yield some pretty clean lines. I’m delighted.

I agree that some of the lines are “wonky”, but now that I’ve experienced this with him, I wouldn’t have it any other way. The experience was amazing, and I’m proud to carry one of his pieces. I’m going back three weeks from tonight for shading, then later adding color.
